The unique staking system allows you to set the FB2 DP Trap anywhere. You can push the stake into the ground where soil conditions permit just like with any brand of dog proof raccoon trap. And, with the unique staking system you can slide the chain system up the stake and insert the stake into the Freedom Brand DP Trap Stabilizer to allow you to use the FB2 DP trap on frozen ground, on rocky ground, in culverts, mounted to a tree or post, on concrete or wood floors in buildings -- anywhere you want to catch a coon. This allows you to combine the FB2 DP Trap with a longer chain and drag or with a drowner slide and to then set the trap in the BEST place to catch coons at a particular location instead of in a place you can find to push the stake into the ground.The Freedom Brand FB2 Dog Proof Raccoon Trap is proudly made in the U.S.A.
